SENSATIONAL LAWSUIT PROMISED


SYRACUSE, N. Y, July 23-A man of
large property in this city, Geor-e Hancock.
died in 1881, leaving a supposed widow, who
took out letters of administration on his es-
tate She afterward began a suit for the
partition of the property between her and
her two children, but during the pending of
the proceedings she agreed to accept gross
sum IN lieu of dover. The settlement was
madAlpon that basis and two months ago
the estate was converted into money
1t now appears that the widow at the time
of her marriage to Hancock had another
husband living, George Calwell. now of New
York city, to whom She had been married
when girl of II at Orvile near Syracuse.
They had never lived together openly as hus-
band and wife, but met clandestinely. Cal
well went to the war of the rebellion as a
member Of the old Twelfth Regiment of Vol
unteers and did not see his wife during that
period After the war he met her and they
agreed to separate. Calwei went to New
y DIRK to live and was next heard of when he
brought a suit for divorce in this city few
months ago.
The suit now pending makes the facts pub
lie here for the first time. The real estate in
question was sold to John Moorey, Il wealthy
contractor, and its title is, of course, now
questioned and the validity of the sale de-

ALI Etursts who grow choice fruit
for m alize the importance of thin
ming the embryo fruit by relieving
trees vines Of any surplus and of all
inferiof6r diseased specimens. Farmers,
as "a rule, also recognize the importance of
thinning fruits, but comparatively few of
them do it, the plea being that it is too
much trouble. The consequence of neglect
in this direction is a lot of inferior fruit,
often unfit for any market; very unlike
the choice grades that command highest
prices.
The surplus of trees or vines may be re-
moved before the flowers have bloomed
by the operation of disbudding, or it may
be done as soon as the fruit has set; in
deed, thinning may still be accomplished
after the fruit is half grown, by reducing
the number, so that what remains will be
fully and perfectly developed. This thin
ming out of fruit pays alike on pear,
peach, plum and other fruit trees, and es-
pecially have its good effects been noted
on grape vines. 1t is by the removal of a
large portion Of clusters of embryo fruits
that prize grapes, peaches and the like are

The stamp mania exists among Euro
pean residents at Teheran no less than it
does in Europe, and the reader may be
surprised to learn that 1t is quite as diff
cult to make n complete collection of Per-
sian stamps at Teheran as In London.
The interest shown in the subject there is
indicated by IN incident that happened
during my residence in Persia. A duel
came near being fought on account Of Il
rnre Persian stamp. TIL quarrel was be-
tween u prominent member of one of the
legations and q Russian colonel. Both
were enthusiastic collectors, and the for
mer accused the latter Of stealing an ex-
cessively rare stamp from his album when
looking it over. The Russian at once sent
a challenge, which was accepted with en-
pressement. The day was appointed and
the hour, when the stamp was suddenly
produced by q lady, who said it had been
loaned to her by the colonel simply to
show 1t to her, and she now hastened to
return it in season to prevent bloodshed.
The explanation, unsatisfactory as it
might be, was accepted and the duel was
